Establishment of Authority
7 Establishment of Authority
An authority, to be known as Australian Hearing Services, is established.
The Authority:
is a body corporate with perpetual succession; and
must have a common seal; and
may sue and be sued in its corporate name.
The Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 applies to the Authority. That Act deals with matters relating to corporate Commonwealth entities, including reporting and the use and management of public resources.
All courts, judges and persons acting judicially are to take judicial notice of the imprint of the Authority’s common seal appearing on a document and are to presume that the document was duly sealed.
